I don't think iran has one

We once said that about North Korea .. the truth is .. we don't really know for a fact what Iran has or doesn't have

they would have to be:

The President of Iran is a lunatic and isn't going to care about that

and once they fire the thing (success or not), they are toast 15 minutes later.

Agreed

Israeli raids reach north Lebanon

Lebanese people say they are being punished collectively
Israel has extended its air campaign to northernmost Lebanon, killing at least seven Lebanese soldiers at a military post in the port of Abdeh near Tripoli.
The raids come after a Hezbollah rocket attack killed eight Israelis in Haifa.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that the Haifa attack would have "far-reaching consequences".

More than 127 Lebanese have died since clashes with Israel began last week. At least were 23 killed in air raids in southern Lebanon on Sunday.

Widespread attacks

Israeli strikes early on Monday also targeted Tripoli, Lebanon's second-largest city located in the north of the country, as well as areas in central and eastern Lebanon.

The target in Abdeh was about six miles (four kilometres) south of the border with Syria.

Twelve Israeli civilians have been killed by Hezbollah rockets since fighting began on Wednesday, including the eight killed in Haifa.


The Israeli air strikes began after Hezbollah seized two Israeli soldiers during a raid into Israel on Wednesday.

In other developments:


The Israeli army says Hezbollah rockets fired from Lebanon have struck deeper into Israel than ever before, hitting the town of Afula, 33 miles (50km) south of the border, and the outskirts of Nazareth

Israeli air strikes late on Sunday set fuel tanks ablaze at Beirut's international airport

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says the battle against Israel is "just at the beginning", in his first televised appearance since the offensive

Iran's foreign ministry denies Israeli allegations that it supplied missiles to Hezbollah

Top European Union and United Nations officials have arrived in Beirut for talks on the crisis.

After meeting Lebanon's Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, the European Union Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana appealed for an end to the violence and the release of the Israeli soldiers being held captive by Hezbollah.

EU foreign ministers will discuss the crisis at a meeting in Brussels on Monday.

Meanwhile, leaders of the G8 nations have blamed extremist forces for the crisis, while calling on Israel to end military operations.

Israel rattled

At least 16 died in Israeli air strikes on Sunday the city of Tyre, while attacks on a border village killed at least seven, including five with Canadian and Lebanese citizenship.

The strikes came hours after the Haifa rocket attack, which killed eight members of a train repair crew.

Correspondents say the large death-count in a strike on Israel's third-largest city has rattled the whole country.

Israel's death toll from the fighting stands at 24 overall.

Israel has carried out a heavy bombing campaign across Lebanon, hitting Hezbollah sites, but also a wide range of civilian targets.

US security teams have landed at the US Embassy in Beirut to start planning the evacuation of Americans.

Foreign nationals have been leaving Lebanon to escape the violence.

As the violence has escalated the number of locals attempting to flee has grown, but with the Israelis targeting the border areas and nearby roads, this has become increasingly difficult.

Geesh, first you make an issue about who is a Jew or not, now you make a disparaging remark about blacks. Why don't you take your own advice and leave this post?

"before I made the mistake of hopping on this one tonite:"

That above is one statement that I can agree with.

That's why we aren't seeing many of the arab countries (except Iran & Syria) saying hardly anything

That is exactly what dirtboy was saying this morning. I think.

Only if today is today and we're not yet onto tomorrow.

God I'm tired, and this is supposed to be my vacation! LOL

"who knows Michael Jackson might show up in an attempt to clean up his reputation and gain a new image"

Nah, he's just on a shopping trip for burqas for his children. Speaking of which, has anyone lifted those kids veils lately to see if their still alive...or if there really is even a kid under there?
